Patch notes for 119.3 release

Defect Fixes:

User Interface:

Tweaked Total Net Worth computation so that it excludes assets that have been already injected in a character (e.g. boosters, skills, implants). Note that this will cause a drop in net worth for many pilots.

Fixed an issue with Total Net Worth calculation for extremely high numbers.

Changed the update frequency for Total Net Worth calculations to once per 12 hours.

Update on April 28: It is again possible to rename corporation divisions and corporation wallet divisions.

A new script, the Focused Warp Scrambling Script has been introduced. Details here.

The Mining Laser Field Enhancement mining foreman burst has had its base bonus increased by 33%.

The base lock range of Covetor mining barges and all Exhumers have been increased

Covetor: +5 km

Skiff and Mackinaw: +5 km

Hulk: +10 km

Drones & FIghters:

The Mining Drone II now requires the Mining Drone Specialization to use, and gains the yield and speed benefits from that skill.

'Excavator' ore mining drones have received a balance pass

Faster cycle time of 60 seconds

Decreased yield per cycle of 110 m3

'Excavator' drones will now provide killmails when destroyed

Increased the maximum possible drone interaction range from 250 km to 500 km to allow drones to be used more effectively against XL structures (This has no effect on the range a target must be from the controlling ship).

We've made some changes to assignable shortcuts for drone actions:

Added a Launch Drones shortcut: By default this will act like right clicking on “Drones in Bay” and selecting Launch Drones, but you can now also select a favorite drone group to be the default target for this shortcut (Saved per hull type).

Expanded the “Engage Drones” shortcut to also give the “Mine Repeatedly” command to any mining drones.

Fighter tooltips have been drastically expanded with many additional pieces of useful information.

Relaxed the throttling on giving orders to Fighter Squadrons. This should result in less occurrences of busy squadrons during high APM usage.

Added assignable shortcuts for various fighter actions (These are unassigned by default but can be set up in the Esc menu):

Launch all Fighters

Open Fighter Bay

Select All Fighters

Deselect All Fighters

Recall All Fighters

Launch Selected Fighters

Recall Selected Fighters

Toggle Selection of Tube 1-5

Toggle Selection of Ship

Exploration:

The asteroids within Asteroid Cluster anomalies have had their spread increased

The drop rates of module blueprints from data sites has been adjusted to better match consumption. The main impact of this change is increased drop rates for Small Ancillary Armor Repairer blueprints.

Graphics:

ORE ships have been visually upgraded with new paint jobs and texture tweaks to accentuate their industrial natures.

The Caldari Destroyer Cormorant and Interdictor Flycatcher have been completely redesigned.

An additional redesign has updated the look of the Caldari Carrier Chimera.

The overhaul of the Post Processing System is complete, incorporating tone mapping and contrast adjustment into the New Eden starscape.

Modules:

Scanner Probes now have to be over 2 km from the players ship to be recalled.

The Rorqual's PANIC module now requires that the ship has an ore or ice asteroid locked before it can be activated.

ORE Strip Miners and Ice Harvesters have had their optimal range increased to 18.75 km and 12.5 km respectively.

Miscellaneous:

Added a new task to the final operation of the tutorial, to make sure players redeem their tutorial rewards.

The list of items that are allowed inside the cargoholds of ships within ship maintenance arrays and ship maintenance bays has been expanded to include boosters, liquid ozone and strontium in addition to charges.

The maximum possible values for contract sales tax,broker's fee and deposit have been increased by a factor of 10. This change impacts the cap for these values,but does not impact the percentages for contracts that are not valuable enough to hit the cap.

Structures & Deployables:

Repair is now available as a standard NPC service in all Upwell structures. This service is provided free of charge to anyone who has access to the Structure.

Undocking from a Upwell Structure with a session change timer will now queue and then action the undock once the timer has expired (As it currently works in a station).

It is no longer possible to transfer ownership of player structures over to the CCP corporations.

Mobile Warp Disruptors have received a balance pass:

All Mobile Warp Disruptors will now generate killmails when destroyed

All Mobile Warp Disruptors will decay and explode if left in space for extended periods of time.

Two days for all T1 bubbles

One week for all T2 bubbles

Two weeks for all Syndicate bubbles

Hitpoints and shield regeneration of Mobile Warp Disruptors have been adjusted:

~10% less HP for T1 bubbles

~20% more HP for T2 bubbles

~50% more HP for Syndicate bubbles

Significantly longer shield regen times for all anchored bubbles, which will reduce passive shield tanking by the bubbles and make destroying them with low DPS much easier

Syndicate bubbles now have the same disruption range as tech 2 bubbles and require tech 2 bubbles as part of their LP store offers

User Interface:

Changed instances of 'red cross' symbols in the game to comply with the Geneva Conventions

Probe Scanner, Directional Scanner and Solar System Map:

A number of changes have been made to the Probe and Directional Scanner, as well as some changes to the Solar System Map.

100% and warpable - Green

Changed it so that the Ignored list in the Probe Scanner is only visible when signatures are being ignored

Added scan difficulty to cosmic signature tooltip in Probe Scanner window and to the label in the Solar System Map

Scan Difficulty is a level from I - V, where I is easy to scan and V is hard to scan

Examples:

Unstable Wormhole = level I

Superior Sleeper Cache = Level V

Directional Scanner:

Changed layout of Directional Scanner window

Corrected an issue with the textures used on Citadels when at low level of detail.

Fixed preview lighting on some apparel items.

Fixed visibility of the boosters on the Executioner and upper tier hulls.

When docked in an Upwell structure with an active ship that had a completely full cargo hold, it was not possible to unload charges from modules fitted to that ship. Unloading such charges will now work as in stations, by putting the charges directly into the structure hangar bay instead of the ship's cargo hold.

Fixed an issue where the next stargate in the route was not being highlighted in the solar system map

Fixed an issue where it was possible to move probes while they were analyzing.

Changed the shortcuts for the directional scanner's filters in order to fix conflicts with the camera.

Fixed an issue where unfitting a probe launcher while probe scanning could cause the game to become unresponsive.

Fixed an issue where the appearance of new signatures could reset the progress of probe scanning.

Fixed an issue where opening the ship tree or planet view could reset probe scan results.

Fixed an issue where the probe scanner and directional scanner could be opened while loading into the CQ.
